The WYD Seoul 2027 LOC has prepared the Youth Leadership Training to communicate what WYD is to young people active in the Archdiocese of Seoul, as they will play a significant role in the event and its preparation. We also teach them conversation in the Spirit, a way to dialogue that will be used in our journey towards 2027. This method of young people training other young people will ensure we can walk together on the journey to WYD.
